CFT Zarr codecs for 12-bit fluorescence and RGB compression

CFT Zarr Custom Codecs

Custom codecs for Zarr v3 optimized for CFT (Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography) data storage.

Codecs

This package provides custom Zarr v3 codecs:

• cft_zarr.jpeg_compressor: JPEG compressor for RGB images (BytesBytesCodec - supports incremental updates)
• cft_zarr.shift12jls_compressor: JPEG-LS compressor for 12-bit fluorescent data (BytesBytesCodec - supports incremental updates)
• cft_zarr.jpeg: JPEG codec for RGB images (ArrayBytesCodec)
• cft_zarr.shift12jls: JPEG-LS codec for 12-bit fluorescent data (ArrayBytesCodec)
• cft_zarr.jpegxl: JPEG XL codec (ArrayBytesCodec)

Installation

pip install cft-zarr

Usage

Reading Zarr Files

Important: You must import cft_zarr before opening Zarr files that use these codecs. This registers the codecs with Zarr.

import cft_zarr  # This registers the codecs
import zarr

# Now you can open Zarr files that use custom codecs
arr = zarr.open('rgb.zarr', mode='r')

Using with napari

When opening Zarr files in napari, import cft_zarr first:

import cft_zarr  # Register codecs before opening files
import napari

# Now napari can read Zarr files with custom codecs
viewer = napari.Viewer()
viewer.open('path/to/file.zarr')  # Will work with custom codecs

Or in a Python script before launching napari:

import cft_zarr  # Must import before opening Zarr files
import napari

viewer = napari.Viewer()
viewer.open('rgb.zarr')
napari.run()

Creating Zarr Arrays with Custom Codecs

import cft_zarr
from cft_zarr import JPEGCompressor, Shift12JLSCompressor
import zarr

# Create RGB array with JPEG compression
rgb_array = zarr.create(
    shape=(100, 512, 512, 3),
    chunks=(4, 512, 512, 3),
    dtype='uint8',
    compressors=[JPEGCompressor(level=85)]
)

# Create fluorescent array with Shift12JLS compression
fl_array = zarr.create(
    shape=(100, 512, 512),
    chunks=(4, 512, 512),
    dtype='uint16',
    compressors=[Shift12JLSCompressor()]
)
